The keep-it-in-the-ground folks are idiots. Yes, they are idiots for falling for the green scam. Stooges to the decarbonization political class who don’t plan on decarbonizing themselves. Victims of a soft-headed idea that oil and gas are a greater threat to life on earth than not having them. They are wrong, and there are tons ... Read more

I have been around the sun far too many times to think that corrupt politicians only live on the left side of the aisle. I am a firm believer that D.C. will pull the soul out of the strongest of men and women who go there with the best intentions. The temptations and opportunities to ... Read more

Housing Bubble Architect Barney Frank, a career politician and Democrat who spent 32 years telling us what to do from Congress, has offered up a deathbed declaration. Maybe don’t go so far left. Frank told CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday that his record gives the message weight. “It’s precisely because I have been on the left ... Read more

How come the NHCADSV is silent in this one? They get so many millions from DCYF to, in part, train DCYF employees, I understand. DCYF failed to vet foster care parents for sex offender registry status, criminal records – per U.S. DHHS OIG reports. NHCADSV said and did nothing, but I get labeled as a ... Read more

Today, on the morning update, Democrats who couldn’t spend enough of your unborn great-grandchildren’s money (already spent everyone else’s) are pretending to care about that now, ‘cuz the Midterms. They’re lying, but it’s hard to help people put all that spending into perspective. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the embedded video does not ... Read more

Trump’s attacks in response to 47 years of Iran’s attacks against Americans and others escalating to a nuclear threat have made Trump’s critics forgetful.  Previous Presidents, leading politicians, and the media acknowledged that Iran is the world’s greatest sponsor of terrorism; that Iran killed, maimed, or injured thousands of Americans; and that Iran must not ...

For the past two years, Vermont politicians have been telling Vermont property taxpayers that they heard us after 2024 and are working to reform our education system to provide property tax relief. It’s not happening. The debate today as we close out the 2026 legislative session is whether to pay for 4%-plus increase in spending ... Read more

Gunfire at one of Washington’s most scripted nights jolts everything into the real world. We start with the White House Correspondents’ Dinner security scare, what we know about the suspect, and the bigger question nobody can dodge: how much does political rhetoric and media framing contribute to the temperature that makes violence feel “justified” to ...

Remember AI “Actress” Tilly Norwood? Her creators were marketing her to talent agencies to book her work. She sings, dances, is cute as a button, and has an English accent. I did a morning update on her and the surrounding outrage, and while I can’t say if she’s gotten any new work, her existence has ... Read more

Donald Trump is quickly eclipsing his record of the most assassinated Presidents of all-time.  Surviving what is now an unreachable forty-seventh attempt on this life, the President was as resolute as ever as he sat behind his desk of the same name, casually looking over his shoulder in hopes to pad his stats. “Nobody has ...

If you missed the Wednesday Morning Update, there’s a nice clip from Dan Bongino in there about how this is not a both-sides issue. Yes, the Left loves to say the right is more violent, but as I’ve pointed out more than a few times, the violence from white supremacy groups, neo-Nazis, and the like ... Read more

A collection of Vermont legislators led by Senate Majority Leader Kesha Ram Hinsdale (D-Chittenden SE) and Treasurer Mike Pieciak (D-VT) gathered in the Cedar Creek Room of the State House to decry and bemoan proposed reforms to the SNAP (Supplemental NUTRITION Assistance Program, aka Food Stamps) that would disallow taxpayer-funded EBT cards from purchasing junk ...

CNN is CNN. The Clinton News Network. The COVID News Network. Commie News Network. Whichever of the many reimaginings you’ve heard or prefer, it’s not your go-to for unbiased news or commentary.

People have been itchy, antsy, and downright belligerent about how long it takes to see some accountability at the federal level.

The news was welcome this morning as Governor Janet Mills has withdrawn from her quest to replace Susan Collins in the U.S. Senate.
